BPC-157 is characterized as a gastric pentadecapeptide that is shown to have had positive effects on the efficiency and efficacy of various growth hormones as well as various other healing qualities in cases such as spinal cord injury and burn wounds.
A study conducted by Mikus et. Al examined the effects that treatment with BPC-157 had on mice that had experienced burns. They were treated with either an injection of BPC-157 or with a topical application of the peptide.
Mice were put under anesthesia and were exposed to a flame for 5 seconds and given partial thickness skin burns over 20% of their bodies, either topical or intraperitoneal treatment with BPC-157 was administered immediately after the mice were burnt and every day thereafter until they were euthanized. For the intraperitoneal dosage 10 micrograms was administered to the rats and for the topical treatment a 50 microgram dosage mixed with 2 ml of water was applied to the burn.
